The KPD gas field is located in the East Java Sea. The development concept is divided in two regimes i.e. upstream and downstream. The upstream regime consists of the development of a Central Processing Platform (CPP), a Satellite Wellhead Tower-C (WHTC) and the 2.7KM Infield Pipeline, and onshore control facilities. The downstream regime consists of the development of a 200KM Export Pipeline and Onshore Receiving Facilities (ORF). The market for KPD gas reserves is a power station located in Semarang, Central Java. The first challenge was the offshore installation for the CPP Topside which used the Float over Installation Method that was successfully carried out in October 2014. This method was quite challenging as it was newly implemented by Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (PCSB) and for the second time in Indonesia. The second next challenge was the Preservation of Facilities. The upstream scope was awarded in December 2012 with a targeted NPA (Notice of Provisional Acceptance) in Q4, 2014. Due to the time gap in the first gas date, the upstream regime was required to carry out its preservation of facilities 8-10 months before the first gas date in August 2015. Efforts have been undertaken to anticipate the preservation through a series of sessions between PC Muriah Ltd. (PCML) and the host authority SKK Migas. Technically, PCML has developed a Long Term Preservation Manual and commercially has been concluded with SKK Migas in July 2014. The preservation was conducted in collaboration with the Project and Operation Departments in PCML before the handover from Project to Operation.
